I haven't been super thrilled with a lot of stuff, but I have found that I've enjoyed Joel Spolky's stuff[0], in general. I don't think he's that popular, hereabouts.

For example, his book Smart and Gets Things Done[1] is great.

Although not management, per se, Steve McConnell's stuff[2] has been of invaluable assistance, in my career. He talks about Quality Process, and that's the kind of stuff that managers should (IMO) know and enforce. Again, I don't think folks, hereabouts, have much love for him.

His book, Rapid Development[3], was a watershed, in my development.

This guy sucks and the Glassdoor score proves it. He also invented FizzBuzz, the plague of tech interviews.
Didn’t Imram Ghory invent that?

Which company has a bad Glassdoor score? StackExchange? Fog Creek? Construx? All of the above?
